In addition to leading the team in free-throw percentage (80.0 percent), Long is currently the team's second leading scorer (13.9 ppg). This season, Long has scored in double figures in all but one of Harvard's 14 games.
He had done so only six times in his previous three years on the team.
Long has especially been on a tear from behind the arc, hitting 22 of his last 48 attempts from long range. Also, his three treys against Dartmouth extended his streak of games with multiple three-point baskets to 12.
In short, Long's inspired play has gone quite a way in providing the leadership that is so necessary for a team as young as the Crimson, which has two freshmen in the starting lineup.
Assuming Damian Long continues on his current pace, the Crimson may be in the Ivy League race for the long haul.
